Beryllium Sheet Metal

The combination of this modulus and a relatively low.

Beryllium sheet metal.

Shanghai metal corporation is a leading beryllium copper sheet supplier and manufacturer. The first of the two families c17200 and c17300 includes high strength with moderate conductivity while the second family c17500 and c17510. Beryllium is a steel gray and hard metal that is brittle at room temperature and has a close packed hexagonal crystal structure. Mead metals carries alloy 172 beryllium copper in annealed quarter hard and half hard tempers from 0 003 to 0 060.

It has exceptional stiffness young s modulus 287 gpa and a melting point of 1287 c. Beryllium copper combines high strength with non magnetic and non sparking. It is often selected by designers seeking high performance heat sinks and structural supports in military electronic and avionics systems and is well suited for satellite structures as a hot formed material. 4 is a block s group 2 period 2 element with an atomic weight of 9 012182.

Full hard and mill hardened tempers are stocked on a limited basis. Beryllium is a relatively rare. The number of electrons in each of beryllium s shells is 2 2 and its electron configuration is he 2s 2. Request a quick quote for more details.

4977 is known for allowing excellent detail in your casting combined with high strength and an attractive color. 17410 17460 and 17510 are also obtainable. The commercial grades of beryllium copper contain 0 4 to 2 0 percent beryllium. Sr 200 which is a sheet beryllium metal manufactured by warm rolling billets of vacuum hot pressed block.

Iarc lists beryllium as a known human carcinogen group 1 and notes that the work environment of workers involved in refining machining and producing beryllium metal was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer the greater excess was in workers hired before 1950 when exposures to beryllium in the work place. The modulus of elasticity of beryllium is approximately 50 greater than that of steel. Browse our beryllium copper stock items in alloy 172 annealed quarter and half hard tempers from 0 003 to 0 060. The beryllium atom has a radius of 112 pm and a van der waals radius of 153 pm.

The element beryllium is a grey metal that is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. Beryllium copper alloy 20c cda 825 is our most popular offering in this category and contains 2 beryllium 0 5 cobalt and 0 25 silicon. Its physical properties of great strength to weight high melting point excellent thermal stability and conductivity reflectivity and transparency to x rays make it an essential material in the aerospace telecommunications information technology defense medical and nuclear industries. 20c beryllium copper belmont product code.
